Choo Choo

Christian loves trains and is always asking us to build him a bigger and better train track. There's only so much you can do on those small train tables. Every once in a while the kids get the idea to build their own track system throughout the house. They will use every possible piece they can to make it as long and big as possible.

 I don't mind because it occupies them for a long time, gets them out from in front of the TV, and has them thinking creatively.



As you can see, it's the entire length of the hallway and then curves into the living room.

    1. That's awesome! Congrats! I hope it helps. I actually had something I was thinking of asking if you wanted. Have you heard of Fertile Aid? I don't know if it works (the reviews were great) but if you'd like, I can mail it to you. We have the male and female ones. Just a thought...

  2. I remember these days, but with my son it was the hot wheels race tracks. My husband, his brother, and his best friend would spend hours with my son to see what the coolest, and still work, track design they could make.

    1. Thanks for stopping by! If I read right on your blog, are you near Watsonville? I used to live in Monterey and we loved driving Highway 1 through there and seeing all the farmland!

      PS. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

  7. What a fun activity for the kids! That looks like the kind of project my siblings and I would have had fun with when we were little.

  8. OMG! It's a small blogging world! I just saw your comment on my Go Momma post This is it! (my birth story) and I thought your name was familiar.... It's YOU I have to thank!!! I read this Choo Choo post just after baby girl was born - early August - and straight away I tried it out. Now, dubbed 'tracks' by my 20 month old, this game keeps Momma SANE! I even passed a bloggy award on to you from my Across The Pond blog http://alia-cartwright.blogspot.com/2012/08/all-quiet-on-western-front.html
    and I'm now embarrassed that I may have completely overlooked letting you know (major baby brain alert)! I hope you'll accept it now - it's not too late:)
